About Tazikis
Tzatziki is a creamy, refreshing dip originating from Mediterranean cuisine, particularly Greek food traditions. It is made primarily with Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh herbs like dill or mint. The dish is well-regarded for its light yet flavorful profile, making it a staple accompaniment to grilled meats, vegetables, or pita bread. Its base of Greek yogurt provides protein and probiotics, which can promote gut health. The cucumber adds hydration and essential nutrients, while olive oil offers healthy fats. Additionally, garlic and herbs contribute antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Tzatziki is relatively low in calories, making it a healthier choice for dips compared to cream-based or mayonnaise-heavy alternatives. However, people watching sodium intake should be mindful of added salt in the preparation. Overall, tzatziki is a nutrient-rich, versatile option to enhance meals while supporting a balanced diet.
